Healing 9/11: Creative Programming by Occupational Therapists
edited by Pat Precin

Haworth Press, 2006. Softcover, 193 pages, $19.95. Hardcover, 193 pages, $34.95.

 

With the aftermath and threat of terrorism part of the American subconscious now, it is inevitable that the need to address it clinically would also translate to the printed page. In Healing 9/11, the focus is on occupational therapy intervention and how clinicians, educators, and students, many of them coping with trauma and stress themselves, developed treatments and programs. Published simultaneously as Occupational Therapy In Mental Health, volume 21, nos. 3/4, this volume includes articles exploring occupational therapy practice and intervention with first responders, burn patients, traumatized children, displaced workers, and clients with psychosocial disorders. Recommended for libraries connected to colleges with OT and COTA programs as well as for medical libraries not holding subscriptions to the original journal.
